We live in a Disaster Capitalist state. Naomi Klein pointed out one of Milton Freidman's tactics of using events of terror and catastrophe- from Earthquakes to Suicide Bombers- to play political spin to the advantage of the neoliberal agenda.
The horrific attack on the Manchester Arena may be used to Theresa May's advantage - a strong military interventionist attitude will serve as the 'solution' to the 'moment of vertigo' caused by such shocks.

Re: Shock Therapy
This shock stuff, used as desensitization as well as to wuickly and thoughtlessly justify radical responses that can lead to prolonged misery and suffering for huge amounts of people, in all its forms, traumatic things seem to be poisonous for the most part, one way or another, and almost always used towards bad ends rather than good, if good are even possible from shocking things. Yet, somehow the worst people always seem to make it through? Why is it that the response to any bad news isn't the general public tearing down their idols and overlords? It is always attacking the easiest targets instead, like seeing something horrific, and then finding a puppy to kick or a baby to throw. Even when the real causes may be convincingly identified, the wealthy who organized false flag plots to manipulate people, just like Gladio and the attack on the USS Liberty and whatever else in the old playbook that runs the same, since the target is too difficult to get too and too risky to even dare approach, the people take it out instead on just whatever, some pointless, powerless entity, a strawman or effigy, like the Bull Baal Burned by the Iranians who are basically held in non-stop suspense now as the Western Powers pushed by Iz are poised to strike them willy nilly for the purposes of perpetually ruining them and r*ping them of resources, as usual. They already showed how totally helpless and pathetic they are by being unable to resist having their facilities bombed, just as a preliminary exercise and showcase of total inequality and unfairness, and to tenderize their infrastructure for the hoped for collapse. This is pure evil on display that should absolutely terrify everyone, since they will do such things to people, communities, states, organizations, this is absolute impunity and total power that has consolidated to such a degree that no one can even lift a finger against abuses, and lifting a finger does nothing except put a target on an entire area where communal punishment will them be executed.
People then cry for help from the other bullying super powers, but none of them want to help, so entire populations will be wiped out in between them, and there would only ever be a response if more directly fought.
The people would not be able to do anything whether they were numbed by desensitizing shocks or shocked by all this on display. It also will NEVER cease, because it is the entire philosophy of a certain group to constantly ingluct shocking things on everyone in the world, that is what they do and have always done, so as long as they are around, they will work to accumulate power specifically for that purpose of shocking people with trash media corrupting and lowering the bar indefinitely towards thinking nothing is wrong and the exploitation of hunan beings, taken advantage of exclusively by the wealthy elites promoting the acceptance of such ideas and loss of all defenses towards such things, and shocking or prodding their cattle to do whatever they wish, such as pitting groups against each other to take care of the violence without having to impose it. Soon enough, machines will increasingly become what will be linked to atrocities, except the people won't be able to lash out on the people running the machines and benefitting from what they make thrm do against any and ultimately all of us.
Seemingly nothing can anyblonger motivate action from the populace, and the message is sent in so many ways that the worst of humanity has already won, even long before they really have.

Seemingly no shock can sufficiently get people to risk and sacrifice themselves anymore.

"
In Marxist thought, a communist society or the communist system is the type of society and economic system postulated to emerge from technological advances in the productive forces, representing the ultimate goal of the political ideology of communism. A communist society is characterized by common ownership of the means of production with free access[1][2] to the articles of consumption and is classless, stateless, and moneyless,[3][4][5][6] implying the end of the exploitation of labour.[7][8]

Yet, whenever it is left in the hands of the people who try to get in charge of any stage where power is concentrated and regulation and enforcement is necessary, they seemingly betray the cause and choose evil and delaying everything so that people suffer again.
I'm for all these f*ckers leaving me alone as much as possible, and helping me with the most help whenever I need it, all I want is for there to be people always ready and available to help anyone and anything ehenever they need it, and f*cking off otherwise, asking for nothing, taking nothing, friends with benefits or not really friends at all, just servitors for the will, desire, needs of the people, imposing nothing, making everything available always to everyone, no rulers, no bosses, a Utopia where food and healthcare and everything at the best levels is always there, but otherwise no one needs to do anything or be involved with anything.

I hate graphic violence or violence in general, though I think that very horrible things may be able to scare some people from certain things potentially, or that the punishments may need to be harsher for some of the things people do and keep doing, like the woman who kept her daughter imprisoned and malnourished for decades while torturing her, a very violent punishment publicized might scare anyone who dares do such a hideous thing, but instead we have criminals glorifying their crimes because they don't get what they deserve:
This is 2 years ago, and they have done so much more since and are continuing to do so, one shocker after another, unless one has no more shocks left, which may be the goal in this case, normalizing evil, and anyone is next.
All these criminals are walking free among the world populace, they are international travelers with lots of money to spend, and commit crimes elsewhere too, completely untouched and protected as state sanctioned marauders by a state that is immune to being sanctioned or prosecuted.
Yet they also stage "shock" events to try to motivate people to take actions like being recruited into their criminal causes against the general populace.
These are the same people who used communication devices purchased by members of the public they had secretly implanted with explosives to simultaneously detonate in the largest mass terror attack on civilians, and they laughed about it and all the people they killed and damaged. This isn't even brought up any more because of the constant stream of new evils covering up the older ones.
